Endangered Wolf Pups Fostered to Wild Dens

Exciting News: The Endangered Wolf Center Fostered 11 Mexican Wolf Pups to the Wild in 2021.

Fostering or cross-fostering wolves is a conservation technique in which pups under 14 days old are taken from managed-care facilities and placed in wild dens. At times, pups are brought back to managed-care facilities. The purpose? To strengthen the genetics of a fragile, critically endangered population of this keystone species.

As a keystone species, wolves play a critical role in the health of an ecosystem. By strengthening wolf populations in the wild, there is a ripple effect of environmental health that impacts plants, animals, and humans.

The wild Mexican wolf population is already seeing the benefits of fostering wolf pups as an important conservation technique.

The Endangered Wolf Center works in collaboration with many state, federal, and native American agencies, as well as the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Mexican Wolf Species Survival Plan (SSP) partners, all of which work together to save this critically endangered wolf.
